The pay for working for a "real" company... salary, normalized expectations around work/life balance, 401k, benefits, name recognition on your resume for future

The pay for working for a "real" company... salary, normalized expectations around work/life balance, 401k, benefits, name recognition on your resume for future projects... it's almost always significantly better at "real companies" vs smaller agencies or start-ups.
That said... we wouldn't have Microsoft, Apple, Dell, etc. if everyone followed that advice.
Which boss do you like more?
- jobthrownewaway 10y ago> name recognition on your resume for future projects This is a great point. No one might care if I have a big shot title at a company no one has ever heard of. > Which boss do you like more? The guy at the 'better' company seems kinder and has more experience. The smaller company guy is younger and less experienced and tougher. Probably would be "easier" to work for the former, but I don't know if I would develop as much professionally.
